Simulator
The display unit includes a simulator function, that allows you to practice
operating your Chartplotter without data from the GPS system. You will need
to use the set up options to switch the display to simulator mode, as described
in Section 2.2. You can use it in either of two ways:
Before the display unit has been installed on your vessel. In this case, you
only need to connect the display to a 12V or 24V DC power supply, con-
necting the red core from the power lead to positive (+) and the black core
to negative (-). See Chapter 6 forfulldetails.
After the display has been installed on your vessel, but while in the marina
or at anchor.
The following section, Section 2.2, includes instructions to view simulated
chart images.
